They should have used spell check.

“…as always, thanks for what you do.”

Its astounding what some people will unquestioningly believe, no matter how outlandish, no matter how obviously untrue. But then, they’re “already brainwashed”. They’ve already made up their minds to believe or disbelieve. And if they’ve decided to believe, well, that’s it. And if for whatever reason they’ve decided not to believe, they’ll reject it. Facts, evidence, proof of all kinds, for or against – none of this will matter. They’re “already brainwashed”. Possibly they’ve washed their own brains. Its kind of disturbing to observe this, not because their opinion differs from one’s own but because one can almost see that there’s an automaticity to it; they’re running on a circuit, sort of. Hard to explain, but dogs get trained this way. You kind of “install” circuits into them and eventually they respond the same way – to the red ball, the biscuit, the pat on the head, saying their name in a warm approving tone, or “No! in a low, stern tone – with patience and repetition, to each separate circuit installation the dog eventually responds the same way. Always. Every time. Eventually you have a well trained dog. Wow. And there are people like this. And they vote.

Very true. I work with young adults in my business. They are my “market”. Mostly 20 somethings, some young thirty somethings. Ages 24-32 mostly. Let me tell you, they google EVERYTHING. Big things, small matters, serious questions; just for fun, idle curiosity, bets, whatever. Continual internet searches on everything and everyone (including my staff and me before they engage our services) for all kinds of reasons. Anything they’re about to do which has import in their lives, they research beforehand, you’d better believe it. Anything I tell them, they fact check! They’re millennials; this is how they operate, and (mostly) their parents too! Say what you will about millennials, they’re sharp and thorough this way, in my experience. They don’t swallow what you say because you’re older or an authority figure. Better make sure what you’re telling them is correct; they’ll check and let you know if it isn’t! Which is fine with me.

I just warned a UTR friend of mine to expect calls and emails SERIOUSLY pressing the “help” button, calls in which he/she will be made SERIOUSLY wrong for not “caring about the 4th dynamic”. This person is now PREPPED.

Thanks for this helpful, enlightening article, Mike. In fact, as always,

My dad was in CCHR. I’m not sure what he did, but it was clandestine.

And it’s not even because they’re suspicious that they’ll look something up. If you don’t know what something is, you’ll go to the internet to find out what it is.

I “innocently” did a search for the term “Scientology”, to demonstrate to my brainwashed Mum how you would look for information on a subject, any subject. I just picked something near and dear to her. The first three Google results were paid ads and glowing. Everything below that was entheta. I was “shocked” at how much bad PR was out there, and indicated that people not knowing anything would run into that immediately, and not go into Scientology. It didn’t penetrate the brainwashing, unfortunately.

You know that’s Mike’s error, right? 😜

Jere, So true what you said. The thought stopping and things the clams say to themselves to convince themselves of the rightness is far more effective than mere brainwashing. And to think we were once part of this.

Ever seen an evil villain in a fantasy movie plotting and grinning about their evil magic? This must by how die-hard believers must think the “psychs” are.

Bwa-ha-ha, etc!
